We combine real estate expertise with practical legal and administrative support, helping ensure your purchase or sale is carried out safely, correctly, and fully compliant with Spanish law.

Why Professional Conveyancing is Essential in Spain

The legal process involved in buying or selling a property is known as conveyancing.

Using experienced independent legal representation in Spain is highly recommended in order to avoid potential legal, financial, or administrative problems both during and after the transaction.

Before any purchase proceeds, it is essential to verify:

That the property is legally registered
That the seller is the lawful owner
Whether there are mortgages, debts, embargoes, or charges registered against the property
That licences, permissions, and documentation are fully in order
That contracts and payment schedules are legally correct
That all taxes and associated costs are properly explained in advance

Our role is to help protect your interests throughout the entire process while ensuring you fully understand every stage of the transaction.

Buying a New Build Property in Spain

Independent legal advice is especially important when purchasing a new build property.

Although some developers may encourage buyers to use their recommended representatives, having your own independent legal support helps ensure that all aspects of the development are carefully checked, including:

Building licences and planning permissions
Bank guarantees protecting stage payments
Construction contracts and specifications
Completion dates and delivery obligations
Structural warranties and developer guarantees

This provides significantly greater legal protection and peace of mind during the construction process.

Buying a Resale Property

Professional legal checks are equally important when purchasing a resale property in Spain.

Many property disputes arise because buyers signed reservation contracts or paid deposits without first carrying out proper legal checks.

Before signing any documentation or paying a deposit, it is strongly recommended to verify:

Ownership
Existing debts or charges
Community fees
Planning legality
Property registration details

Once a reservation deposit has been paid, recovering funds can sometimes become difficult if legal problems later arise.

The Reservation Deposit & Purchase Process

The initial reservation deposit is normally held by the seller’s legal representative or developer and is documented through an official receipt or reservation contract.

Following reservation:

Legal checks and document verification begin
Contracts are reviewed
Payment schedules are confirmed
The conveyancing process is coordinated between all parties

Our team liaises with:

Estate agents
Developers
Solicitors
Banks
Mortgage brokers
Insurance providers
Currency exchange specialists
Removal companies where required

Completion at the Notary

Completion of the purchase takes place before a Spanish Notary Public.

The Notary acts as an independent public official whose role is to:

Verify the identity and legal capacity of all parties
Ensure the transaction complies with Spanish law
Confirm that both parties fully understand the terms of the deed
Officially witness the signing of the Title Deeds

Our team and/or your legal representative will accompany you to the Notary on completion day whenever required.
